Princeton: Get Woke Go Broke
For a several years, it was almost only a handful of academics on the left along with a few GamerGaters (Don’t worry, think Youtubers) who were warning about the cancerous ideology known as Critical Race Theory. Those days are over.

To set up the Princeton story, humor me by watching at least 2 minutes from Tucker Carlson last night. You’ll see what I mean. The president is grabbing CRT by the _______.

So what happened with Princeton? Glad you asked.
The Department of Education has informed Princeton University that it is under investigation following the school president’s declaration that racism was “embedded” in the institution.
President Christopher Eisgruber published an open letter earlier this month claiming that “racism and the damage it does to people of color persist at Princeton” and that “racist assumptions” are “embedded in structures of the University itself.”
According to a letter the Department of Education sent to Princeton that was obtained by the Washington Examiner, such an admission from Eisgruber raises concerns that Princeton has been receiving tens of millions of dollars of federal funds in violation of Title VI of the Civil Rights Act of 1964, which declares that “no person in the United States shall, on the ground of race, color, or national origin, be excluded from participation in, be denied the benefits of, or be subjected to discrimination under any program or activity receiving Federal financial assistance.” (Washington Examiner)
As a libertarian/conservative, I admit to being a bit torn. While I’d like to see the Department of Education abolished (Test scores have only dropped since it was founded in the 1970s.), at least it’s going after the cancer infecting academia. It’s really a Kafka trap, isn’t it! The responses from the woke are amusing:
This whole thread is LOL!if you see someone tweet out a link from the w*shington ex*miner they are NOT your friend. if you see them tweet out a link from the n*tional r*view they are not your friend (and check Yahoo/MSN links, they syndicate from them!)

I think you are minimizing the evils of systemic racism. And now you want to block POC's voices¿ pic.twitter.com/s5YNXHavGU
